[QUOTE="MissMac, post: 1213040, member: 317361"] I can see I am going to be saying thank you a lot in the next few weeks, but you cannot underestimate how having people who do not judge, are not bored by my talking about it and my fears, makes me feel. Yes I feel very alone but this has helped knowing you guys are all there and a wealth of knowledge too! I have friends who are diabetic and spoke to them but unfortunately they seem to be of the mind that medication takes care of the sugars and they just eat what they want in the most part....I don't want to be that way....on the surface their results might seem better but we cannot see what is happening on the inside until it is too late and that is not a chance I am willing to take with my body. I also do not want to be and would be a fool for thinking I could be, one of those who dramatically changes everything and becomes the world's biggest health freak and eat nothing but oatcakes or something, that's no life as far as I am concerned though take my hat off to them for being able! As for the partner....it's very much a stalemate this morning...he knew he had upset me because I had to take myself out the room while he was eating, just sat in the bedroom pretending to read and cried AGAIN! This morning he is being all gruff and dirty looks are being shot my way because I am sat on the laptop trying to wake up and he is mowing the grass! What he doesn't see is that he was snoring within minutes of going to bed and most the night I was awake and invariably...yup you got it...crying or feeling so sick! I know once the mood/depression/shock etc etc eases off me a bit, I will be better able to make the changes and feel that I am not drowning in a sea of information that I cannot process. I am thinking of getting back in touch with my counsellor/therapist just to talk that side of things through in the hope the rest will then be easier to deal with, who knows. So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you've all been so wonderful in such a short space of time xxxxx [/QUOTE]
